第二节：完形填空（共20小题；每小题1分，满分20分）
There are two books I like to read with my students that I would recommend that all teachers and parents use with their children. Both books have 46 and, in my opinion, a similar message. They are 47 for ages seven to thirteen, though as a(n) 48 , I love them, too. The first one is The Hundred Dresses, by Eleanor Estes, which is about a poor girl who moves to a new 49 and tells the other students that even though she wears rags, she has one hundred 50 dresses in her closet. The students know she is 51 , and they pick on her and call her names often. In the 52 , the girl moves away, and the children in the class find out that she did have one hundred beautiful dresses—but they were just 53 the girl had done of the dresses she envisioned (想象) in her 54 . I love discussing this book with kids because it covers many levels: 55 children who are different, explaining why someone might be 56 , the emotions of a student, not making quick judgments about others. It deals with several 57 and really helps students see the point of view of others.
Another book that 58 with compassion (同情) is The Hundred Penny Box by Sharon Bell Mathis. It is about an elderly lady who 59 one hundred pennies in a box, one penny for each 60 of her life. Throughout the book she tells her grandson, Michael, the meaning of each penny and stories that go 61 with it. Anyone who has an elderly grandmother can understand this story, 62 it is also good for kids who don’t have a close 63 with an elderly person. It helps to show them that even though someone might be old, he or she 64
lived with energy and spirit, just like a kid. It also shows them that each elderly person has a wealth of experiences, heartache, love, wisdom, and memories, and that out of admiration for the long 65 the person has led, each elderly person should be cherished and respected.
46. A. pages B. titles C. writers D. pictures
47. A. popular B. famous C. appropriate D. extraordinary
48. A. adult B. student C. grandmother D. girl
49. A. town B. city C. school D. village
50. A. beautiful B. expensive C. long D. old
51. A. joking B. worrying C. informing D. lying
52. A. way B. end C. time D. moment
53. A. drawings B. clothing C. pieces D. sculptures
54. A. book B. composition C. mind D. novel
55. A. disagreeing B. refusing C. agreeing D. accepting
56. A. dishonest B. honest C. enthusiastic D. optimistic
57. A. branches B. topics C. systems D. warnings
58. A. goes B. plays C. exists D. deals
59. A. sells B. donates C. keeps D. makes
60. A. day B. week C. month D. year

63. A. relationship B. friend C. watch D. eye
64. A. actually B. once C. forever D. indeed
65. A. story B. way C. life D. tale

A
Dear Daisy,
Phew! I’m so glad that day is over. I was so worried all summer that my first day at my new school would be terrible.
I’m really tired, but my first day at school went well and I feel much better now.
First of all, we had to meet outside the school building. I was very nervous because my primary school only had 300 pupils but in the secondary school there are about 1,300. What a difference! The older pupils are really big. I felt so small waiting there in front of the school.
The other problem was that I didn’t know anyone. My family moved over the summer holidays, because of Dad’s new job. So now I have to try to make some new friends. Standing in front of the school this morning, I wanted to be back at my old school with my old friends.
The head teacher came out and told us to go into the school hall. Then he called our names out to tell us which class we were in. My class teacher is called Mrs. Black. She took us to our classroom. It’s on the 5th floor and … guess what? ... We aren’t allowed to use the lift. I couldn’t believe it.
When we were walking up all the stairs I started talking to another boy who didn’t know anyone. He said his family had moved from Hong Kong over the summer. He seemed really nice so we sat together when we got to our classroom, out of breath! He said his English was very poor but I thought it was really good.
We spent all morning with Mrs. Black looking at our timetables. Everyone in the school has a different timetable—can you believe it? Half of the school is learning Spanish as a second language and the other half learns French. I’m in the Spanish group, which sounds like fun. I’m worried that I’ll forget my timetable and go to the wrong room! How will anyone help me if nobody else has the same timetable as me?
Lunchtime was OK. After lunch we started lessons. I had maths, which was complicated and difficult and then history, where we started to learn about ancient Greece. That looks interesting. I have to do some homework tonight to find out how the ancient Greek people lived.
So far so good. I’m quite looking forward to tomorrow, even though I’ve got science. I hate science!

B
What do you usually do after school? Playing football? Watching TV? Come on, we need something new! Let’s see how kids in foreign countries spend their free time!
Mess around with Dress-up
Do your parents have any old clothes? See if you can get an old box and start collecting hats, shoes and clothes now! Then, when your friends come over after school, you can play dress-up. See if you can make yourself into a doctor, or a cowboy, or even a spaceman! Use glitter paint and old material to decorate the clothes the way you like them.
If you are really clever, you could even put on a show for your family! Let your imagination run wild!
